noisy & lousy - broke down in 2 months!
I purchased this fan to use in my toddler's room. The fan is quite noisy. So my son is quite scared of it. We put it outside his room so that he can use the fan without being too scared. This kind of fixed the problem. However, after 2 month of use, the fan starts to have some terrible noise. We try to contact the warranty and they asked us to send the fan back. We took the fan to the post office and the postage would be sixty-ish. The customer service said they only provide "limited warranty service" which is to repair my fan at TN location. They are not willing to provide any further help regarding the fan. After seeing several other review, I believe this is not uncommon for this model and decided to get something else.
This fan is no good for anywhere any place especially with very poor quality and customer service.
It lasted for nearly three years-- not bad.
I bought this fan about 3 years ago from Linens and Things for about $15 after rebate. Though the CFM is low, that can be a good thing, in that many other fans blow too hard on their low setting or are noisy. This one blows gently on the low setting but still can knock all the papers off your desk on the high setting. On both the low and medium settings, it is sufficiently quiet.
It doesn't take up a lot of space and is very easy to move around. It can be opened to be cleaned, though not nearly as easily as circular fans. The timer functions well enough.
It finally stopped working after 2.5-3 years of heavy use (as much as 18 hours a day during our summers in Los Angeles). So it did it's job pretty well, especially when considering what I paid for it. I haven't figured out yet what part of it broke, but seeing that the switches still work solidly, it might just be the motor. If I can repair it (e.g. it was merely a fuse or something else easy to fix),...
This is a great little (skinny) fan!
Have had this fan for almost a year now. It's quiet and very efficient. In fact, looks like my son has borrowed mine. I'll go buy another one soon!
